Bold Visionaries
Posted by Bill van Asperen
Twenty three women from across the country are coming to PEI in September to take part in A Bold Vision. They include authors, artists, a rocket scientist, and recipients of the Order of Canada.. to name a few. The aim is to help plot the course of Canada for the next 150 years -- as the Fathers of Conferation did in 1864.
Sara Roach-Lewis is the chair of A Bold Vision and she's with Women's Network PEI. Contemporary artist Becka Viau is the Island's visionary. The conference takes place in Brudenell and Charlottetown from September 24th through the 26th.

Posted by Bill van Asperen
A bartender at Hunters Ale House in Charlottetown has been pouring beers for nearly 8 hours, while at the same time eyeing a Guiness World Record... for the longest bartending shift. Phil Gallant has been behind the bar since 10 a.m. Wednesday and plans to stop at 2 a.m. Sunday morning. Mitch Cormier spoke with Phil about the challenge. It's also part of a fundraising breakfast with a big donation box... to help out the QEH.
